WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other injuries, or damage to your iMac or other property. Read all safety information below before using your iMac.
Handling. Set up your iMac on a hard, stable work surface that allows for adequate air circulation under and around the computer. Never push objects into the ventilation openings. Your iMac can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquids, oils, and lotions. Don’t use a damaged iMac, such as one with a cracked screen, as it may cause injury.
Liquid exposure. Keep your iMac away from sources of liquid, such as drinks, oils, lotions, washbasins, bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on. Protect your iMac from dampness, humidity, or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and fog.
Power. The only way to turn off power completely to your 24-inch iMac is to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. For other iMac models, you can unplug the power cord either from the wall outlet or from your computer. Make sure the power cord is within easy reach so that you can unplug your iMac when you need to. Unplug the power cord (by pulling the plug, not the cord) and disconnect all cables if any of the following conditions exists:
The power cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.
You spill something into the case.
Your iMac or power adapter is exposed to rain or excess moisture.
Your iMac has been dropped, or the case has been damaged.
You suspect that your iMac needs service or repair.
You want to clean the case (use only the recommended procedure, described later in this document).
Power specifications:
Voltage: 100 to 240 V AC
Current: 2 A, maximum
Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz
WARNING: Your AC cord has a three-wire grounding plug (a plug that has a grounding pin). This plug fits only a grounded AC outlet. If you’re unable to insert the plug into an outlet because the outlet isn’t grounded, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded one. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding pin.
Hearing loss. Listening to sound at high volumes may damage your hearing. Background noise, as well as continued exposure to high volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they actually are. Use only compatible earbuds, headphones, or earpieces with your iMac. Turn on the audio and check the volume before inserting anything into your ear. See Online Safety resources website.
